Limits, a power meter which is designed to fit between pedal and crank, raised nearly $475,000 (£333,000) in crowdfunding in 2015 , with backers initially being promised that they would receive their power meters in December. However since then, the project has been subject to serious delays, with the estimated delivery date being at least a month away.
